Tomorrows & Days After: Conversations with Ellis Paul and eels' Mark Oliver Everett
A Conversation with Ellis Paul by Mike Ragogna Mike Ragogna: With more and more artists taking responsibility for the marketing and distribution of their projects, fan funding has become a more obvious route. For The Day After Everything Changed, you raised over $100,000, right? Ellis Paul: Yes. MR: How did you do it? EP: Well, we set up a tier system on the website where people can go get goods and services that they bought into. The top end is for $10,000 and in exchange, you get a guitar and a house concert, and I write a song for you with handwritten lyrics to whatever song you like. On the lower end, a $15 dollar scale would get you a pre-ordered CD that is signed and numbered and on like that. MR: Didn't your first albums came out on Newbury Comics? EP: Yes. Newbury Comics hooked up with my
